ANTIMALARIAL RESORTS. 

In presenting this Guide to the public the Erie 
Railway Company has kept in view the fact that 
people seeking sojourning places in the country 
especially desire to avoid all localities subject to 
malarial influences. The Erie is peculiarly for- 
tunate in the anti-malarial character of the 
country through which it passes. The pure air, 
rapid waters, and high elevations of the Ramapo, 
Delaware, and Neversink valleys, and the back 
regions of Ulster, Sullivan, Orange, Pike, 
,Wayne, and Delaware counties, are persistent 
foes to the diseases that have become so prevalent 
in other parts of the country. Malaria cannot 
originate in the above localities, and physicians 
are annually sending patients afflicted with 
malarial affections to the al)Ove health-renewing 
resorts alons: the Erie. 



COMMUTATION TICKETS MAY BE OBTAINED AT THE 
COMPANY'S OFFICE, 187 WEST STREET. 



A TOPOGRAPHICAL MAP, 

Showing the Lakes, Streams, Mountains, and all 
points of interest, mentioned in this book will be 
issued by the Erie Railway Company in June of 
this year. Copies of the map, as well as time- 
tables, circulars, &c., may be had on application 
at the offices of the Company, 261, 401, 957

nowaska was made a summer resort. It is on the rocky trest of a 
Shawangunk peak, near " Sam"s Point," the great height that overlooks 
the entire Wallkill Valley, immediately beneath it, and commands an 
unobstructed view of the greater part of the Eastern and Middle States.

White Mountain drives. Bass and i)ickercl fishing.

The immediate .surroundings of Callicoon are of the wild and rugge ; 
character that prevails in tlie upper Delaware Higlilands, but a few- 
minutes' ride will take the visitor to the valley of the Callicoon Creek, 
which is for miles a continuation of splendid farms. Callicoon 
village is the centre of one of the famous trout regions of the Dela- 
ware Vallej'. The Callicoon Creek, which enters the Delaware a short 
distance below the station, threads the back wilderness and the 
splendid farming section mentioned. Along its entire course, from tlic 
hills on either side, tributary streams flow into it at short intervals. 
The main stream and its feeders are natural trout creeks, and all the 
season long they afford royal sport to the aiigler. These brooks aie 
within an area of five miles from the station. On the Pennsylvania side 
of the river is HoUister Creek. For two miles from the river this creek 
flows through a wild and narrow gorge, and seeks the level of the river 
by a series of wonderful waterfalls. There are numerous lakes on both 
sides of the river, the famous Bethel township lakes, in Sullivan 
County, being within easy reach. In Wayne County, Gallilce Lake, 
Duck Harbor, Swago Lake, and others, are near and convenient of 
access. Bass, pickerel, and perch fishing are attractions of these waters. 
Callicoon Depot and Callicoon are different post offices.

IN THE HUDSON HIGHLANDS. 



The " Newburgh Short Cut " branch of the Erie, which leaves the main 
line a mile east of Turner's, opens up a country that is wonderful in many 
ways. The road runs along the base of the lofty Highlands. The range 
is cut with deep glens and valleys, and in its rocky crests holds many a 
shimmering lake. On the left is Schunemunk Mountains. The lake sys- 
tem of the Highlands is one of the greatest marvels of the section. From 
the Hudson to the New Jersey State line, no less than forty lakes, of dif- 
ferent areas and degrees of altitude, and all surpassingly beautiful, ne.stle 
among the crags and on the bold plateaus. • Some are still surrounded 
by the solitude of a century ago. Others occupy charming positions 
nearer by, and have become noted centres of summer resorts. They arc 
all stocked with bass, pickerel, and other game fish. Over a hundred 
years ago the waters of some of the lakes were economized for manufac- 
turing purposes, the iron-furnace,.- of the region being the main industry 
that they fostered and made successful. As an evidence of the purity 
of the water comprising them, it may be stated that they are natural 
trout haunts, and it was not until pickerel and other voracious fish were 
placed in the lakes that trout disappeared from them. 

Aside from the delightful scenery of the Highlands, it is a fact which 
the experience of years has demonstrated, that the air which circulates 
among these hills and valleys is possessed of curative properties that 
render the existence of pulmonary or bronchial difficulties next to an 
impossibility from the Schunemunk range to the Cornwall Hills. It is 
stated that there is a well defined line which marks the boundary of this 
rare mountain atmosphere, and that the area of its presence is within the 
mountain elevations just mentioned. There are innumerable instances 
of invalids being restored to robust health by a few seasons spent in the 
Highlands, prominent among them being the late N. P. Willis, the poet, 
who visited Cornwall a confirmed consumptive, spent one season in the 
mountains, and was so much benefited that he became a resident, and 
was restored to health. The value of this region as a sanitarium is now 
recognized by leading physicians, and many patients suffering with lung 
or throat diseases are annually recommended by them to seek some one 
of the favorite resorts among the Highlands, on the line of the Eric 
Railway. 

They arc as follows ;
